    Don’t look to deep into it. They had a pick and they chose a player.

    It fits the type of guys Olshey selects in the second round. I expect this dude to be a rotation player in 3 years.

    The Kings had a draft I would have LOVED. That causes me to question my choices.

    I think some of that could be attributed to the crappy team he had to play with and knowing he had to do it all.

    Thought he was being undervalued. Good role for him.

    I’m going to be honest. But this guy’s game reminds me a ton of Luke Jackson coming out of Oregon.

    Watching his 'highlight' video.....ugh.

    He is good if left completely alone as a stand-still shooter. Other than that....

    He has the kind of confidence and lack of fear that most players don't have. Calipari was talking about that today, referencing one of his players.

    Luke Jackson had a career path in the NBA but his back failed him.

    You can see he is trying too hard on offense a lot. Seems to be a two-way player though and I like those rebounding numbers.
